Konrad has 500k followers on Instagram. He repeats Australia institute talking points and amplifies them with no regard for whether it’s true or not. I think he’s being played by Richard Denniss and co in a cynical game to undermine social license for resource projects. Konrad’s challenge will be what he does when he eventually realises Denniss played him.

Richard Denniss, chief communist at the Australia institute, exposes his shallow grasp of the Australian gas system, here on Hansard. How does Denniss think we can get LNG from the north-west shelf of Western Australia, or the Timor Sea north of Darwin, to the east coast of Australia, and thus avoid an export tax? Is Denniss expecting an LNG import terminal to be built by an Australia institute donor? Is Denniss expecting Australian shipping laws laws to be changed so foreign vessels may conduct inter-state trade? Is Denniss expecting domestic gas demand to increase 10-fold to make use of this cheap gas that appears as if by magic on the east coast? Does he expect gas to be developed offshore and sold domestically for a loss? I don't believe Denniss cares one jot about any of this stuff. I suspect his primary aim is to promote chaos and angst and provide propaganda material for his mates in the Teals and their primary donors.
